After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"father."

As soon as Xiao Ran entered the gate, she shouted loudly, which startled Xiao Mu, who hurriedly came over and closed the door.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you think your father is old and can't hear?"

She chuckled, "Of course not, Father hasn't been home all day, I was just worried about you..."

Xiao Mu scoffed and walked to the table to sit down. "I've never seen you so attentive before."

She immediately stepped forward, pinched Xiao Mu's shoulder, and spoke sweetly.

"That's probably a misunderstanding, Father. I've always been worried about you."

Feeling that his daughter's massage was fairly comfortable, he gradually relaxed his shoulders, closed his eyes, and said helplessly:

"You smooth talker, you're not really worried about your father, you just want to know what he's been up to."

Xiao Ran stopped what she was doing and chuckled.

"It must have been Governor Shin who spoke to you about something."

Xiao Mu's expression remained unchanged. He did not answer directly, but simply tilted his head slightly and said:

"Squeeze, why did you stop squeezing?"

Xiao Ran had no choice but to continue massaging his shoulders, but this time she was clearly putting in more effort than before, which Xiao Mu also noticed.

He squinted slightly, exuding an aura of peace and leisure, looking extremely content.

"Prefect Shen did tell me a lot, but why didn't you tell Father about such a big matter? Are you planning to keep it from Father forever, girl?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately shook her head in denial: "How could that be? My daughter can't handle these things on her own."

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem to want to tell your father. But such a big matter, with such deep implications, surely Ran'er already knows, right? Why do you still want to get involved?" Xiao Mu suddenly sat up, turned to look at her, as if wanting to know what she was thinking.

Xiao Ran suddenly fell silent. After a moment, she slowly walked over and sat down opposite Xiao Mu.

“Father, you must be well aware of the corruption in the capital. Ever since my trip to Liuyun Village, I have been unable to bear seeing the people suffer like this.”

Xiao Mu sighed and said, "I understand what Ran'er is thinking, but this matter is really not something we can interfere with."

Xiao Ran noticed her father's troubled expression and knew that the matter was thorny and complicated.

“But Ran’er still wants to try. There’s an old saying that the ruler is the boat, and the common people are the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I think if Emperor Jingyang continues to act this way, it probably won’t be long before…”

Xiao Mu was shocked to hear this and immediately came over to cover her mouth.

"Ran'er! Do you know what you're saying?!"

Xiao Ran opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally fell silent. The room, which had just been filled with conversation, was instantly filled with silence, and the air seemed to freeze.

Isn't what she said true? Otherwise, why would Prince Yan have rebelled in his previous life? It was just a matter of the victor taking all. This life is completely different. As long as she can stop He Wan, and besides, she had already written a letter to Prince Yan reminding him.

Finally, Xiao Mu slowly spoke, "I understand, Father will pay close attention to this matter. But..."

He suddenly stared intently at Xiao Ran, his eyes filled with admonition, warning, and a hint of worry.

"Don't say such things again, or the walls may have ears."

A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Ran's face. How could she not know? But she was really angry. In her previous life, Emperor Jingyang had confiscated her entire family because of a woman's nonsense, causing her to suffer the pain of being betrayed by her husband's family and separated from her loved ones.

But where could she go to complain?

She lowered her eyes and said, "Your daughter will heed your teachings, Father."
